California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton led the
frenzied crowd at the recent 2017 California Democratic Convention in rousing
chants of “f*ck Trump,” while extending both of his middle fingers. Burton, the
leader of California’s Democratic Party since 2009, is a former member of the
United States House of Representatives who also twice served in the California
General Assembly.

House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Barack Obama’s former labor
secretary Hilda Solis, were seen yucking it up while Burton was chanting
profanely and extending his middle fingers into the air in a blatant attempt to
savage and discredit the current president. Burton, a class act like so many of
his fellow Democrats, also earlier told protesters at the convention to “shut
the f*ck up and go outside” prior to Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom
Perez taking the stage.

The
Democratic Party has ceded itself to the left. The left will do anything to bring down the Trump
administration and “f*ck” the U.S. Has even one major, national Democratic
politician made it a point to criticize and condemn Burton’s actions? Of course
not. In contrast, much maligned Republicans like George W. Bush and Ronald
Reagan refused to even strongly criticize their Democratic successors, let
alone vilely demean and discredit the office of the presidency. Nor do we see
elected Republicans at any level acting like mafia thugs.

The
heinous, hypocritical, pathetic scum that are at the vanguard of the Democratic
Party’s current all-out attack on America would, of course, brand the very
actions in which they are now engaging as criminally violent hate speech by
bigoted, intolerant, right-wing extremists who intend to overthrow the
duly-elected government of the people if any Republican stooped so low as to
exhibit similar behavior if a Democrat was in the Oval Office.

But of
course that would never happen. Republicans, though often timid, cautious and
weak, at least have a healthy respect for the institutions in which they serve.

Or do
they?

In-so-far as they let leftists, even while
leftists are a distinct minority, push them around and dictate the political
talking-points year after year, election after election, decade after decade,
the evidence would suggest otherwise.

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
